Item Setup

Regular:

Type in a description (up to 20 characters) of the actual menu item, such as cheeseburger or chocolate shake. The workstation prints the item description on guest checks, shared printers and displays on the order screen.

Alternate:

Type an alternate description (up to 20 characters), perhaps abbreviated for the menu item you entered in the previous " Regular " field. For example, cheeseburger could be abbreviated to ChzBurg. The abbreviated description may be displayed on the order screen, and may print on checks or remote printouts. These options are enabled in the POS Control/Menu/Options section.
